In all of my testing I have not been able to get any Influence detonations with torpedo depths set below what I determined the maximum Contact Only depth to be. This tells me that Influence detonations are not working properly.

Yes, that is what I found out. I posted along time ago some data.
Contact/Influence does not explode just under the keel, as you stated. Same test procedure. |
Strange as I have successfully pulled off "under the keel" detonations. But in a similar manner to contact pistols the best results is at a 90 degree angle to the target and just barely beneath the boat seemed like inches.
Then again Ive had influence pistols run along the entire length of a ship stern to bow with no detonation.
